Christine and Kevin in West Orange, NJ

Christine and Kevin met in 1998 while attending the Rhode Island School of Design. After graduating, and three years of long-distance dating, Kevin moved from Miami to be with Christine in New York and asked her to be his wife. The two college sweethearts staged this romantic event at Mayfair Farms.

"I didn’t want to feel like I was wearing a costume," says Christine. Instead she chose a style that matched her personality: a tea-length Melissa Sweet gown. Mirabella Hair and Makeup Bridal Boutique in Livingston completed her fresh-faced look.

The reception site, Mayfair Farms, created the wedding cake, which was included in the couple’s catering package. "At first, I was disappointed when I saw the cake," says Christine, "I thought the pink and brown bows were fabric, not icing. But then I realized that they actually were icing—they looked that good!"
